That's a hard long walk for the sheep, their asses are frozen, and they will be slaughtered when they finish the walk. Do not tell me this is how Argentina works :)

European"ambiance" at sudaca prices is translated as " Poor man's Europe" :) . So it's the decision between Europe and poor man's Europe.

You only pay resident tax if you stay more than 6 months in Spain, but very few people are paying for it. There are tons of gringos who retire in Europe and not paying that. I think Argentina has the same asset tax law, if you are so lawful, you are subject to tax in Argentina too once you...

You sure know your bikes.

That's true. You can be just an average Joe in Europe. Even though the average wage in Southern Europe is way lower than that of US big cities, there are tons of wealthy people, daily products can be expensive, if not careful, money goes out fast. Europeans have the same living standard as...

In Argentina, you can live like locals, things can be cheaper if you know how to shop. In Spain, there are no cheap things. Many lower income people, maybe half of them in Spain, spend everything by the of the month. In Argentina, it's worse, many do not have basic things that gringos take for...

I have shopped for real estate in both Spain (Alicante 40 min away from Valencia by car) and Buenos Aires. If you like what you see in Youtube, Spain is your country. The real estate price is about the same in the best area of Valencia and that of Recoleta and Palermo. And the apartment is...

Which is better ? Beautiful outdoor settings with bad coffee and rude waiters at La Biela, or Starbucks at Alto Mall next to the traffic, where you could not hear anything ? Most of the time for me, it's never about the coffee but the person you have coffee with. So the rude waters and bad...

Wow, I envy you. Not many people can say they have that kind of experience. You must be very attractive and funny. I had so many coffee and drinks with numerous women, it never led to sex or any intimate activity. I was disappointed. My boss daughter only looked at me with contempt when she was...

Good for you. PS President Clinton is a weak person, but a good person in general :). His wife, I am not sure. Maybe that's why he needs to have some fresh air out of his marriage.

Living in a foreign country and trying to know the city and people better, suddenly an attractive lady asks you to have drink on a pleasant afternoon, it's delightful to sit under the jacaranda tree outside La Biela, having a conversation over a fresh coffee, whether the conversation inspiring...

Would you go and have a drink with her if she is smoking hot ? I would. Having a drink and talking about her problems is harmless and you are helping someone. If she is cranky, unpleasant and having makeup falling off her face, then .. it's a different story. Temptation is everywhere, that...

Comparing many other nations, Argentines consume a smaller selection of food. There are many things they do not like to eat. It sucks to worry about the above basic items, makes retiring life more challenging in Argentina. You constantly get ripe seasonal fruits and veggies in Europe, the...

Can you do that, birth place can not blank. It's up the state dept.

Same law in Spain and other European countries. But very hard to enforce and check. There are thousands of Americans retiring in Europe, I do think they pay wealth tax. Do not expect Argentine gov to have a friendly law/regulation for expats, they do not care and it's a moron government. If your...

I was yelled "paciencia" by the old dude who has been working there for 30 years at La Biela. Tip helps. There was a time when I frequented certain night clubs, the waiters always gave me a big handshake and asked me which table I wanted, if champagne was needed. That was a good time, seems...

Buenos Aires Grill is a chain store. I always enjoy their meat and steak. The quality is decent and consistent, desert is good. Price is reasonable and never inflated. I am talking about the same store close Callao, next to the book store. Always easy to find a table and have a good meal, their...

You are one that caused the bankruptcy of Alvear :)

Speaking of bathrooms, when I am in that area, which is very close to where I used to live, I would always use Alvear Palace as my bathroom, it's a little weird to get to the second floor bathroom through narrow stairs, but the paper towel there is fantastic, 100 times better than napkins at any...

Yes, he was the one!
